Hard To Resist.

VINCENT

Si… Sir I don't understand, what is going on? " I heard her shuttered and my brows raised.

"Miss Skylar, what is it? " I asked but she said nothing but only her faint breath could be heard.

"The light just…just went off" She mumbled and I scoffed.

"What? What are you saying? " I asked and started hearing her whisper.

"I ca… can't stay in the dark, I'm sca…scared" She mumbled.

"Miss Skylar, calm down, You are already whispering, don't take a step, okay? '' I said but she continued to whisper, I traced her voice direction and reached out to her.

I was able to touch her hand and to my suprise , she hugged me while whispering more. For a moment, I froze at the connection that came between us, Nina was the last girl that I allowed to come this close. I brought myself back and I cleared my throat.

"It's okay," I said, though I didn't return the hug. After a minute, she pulled away, I guessed she was back to normal.

"Are you okay now? " I asked and she sniffled.

"I'm sorry sir. '' She mumbled but before I could say anything, Mr Quin's voice intervened.

"I'm so sorry Mr Vincent about the sudden light that went off, the electrician is yet to finish his work too" He apologized but I shook my head.

"No Problem, We need to go" I said,

"Okay, Thanks for your time" He appreciated it and I smiled.

"You are welcome," I replied.

********

I didn't hear her say anything throughout the Whole ride. The car stopped and I knew instantly, we are back to the office, I heard the car door open, same goes to mine. I stepped down.

"Let me help you sir" She mumbled beside me but I shook my head.

"You should cool yourself down first, Miss Skylar" I told her before making my way into the office.

"Sir, is everything alright? " I heard Ben's voice and I breathed out.

"Yes it's fine" I replied and I heard his footsteps closer.

"What about Mr Quin? Ever change his mind about the Project? He asked and I shook my head.

" No, he is giving us the contract " I replied and he heaved down.

"That is a relief" He muttered and I nodded.

The thing right now is what I'm feeling in me after Miss Skylar hugged me earlier. It is what I should not be feeling.

SKYLAR

I cleaned my hand after washing the dishes, I stood still for a while staring into space. Fuck that light that shut down. I can't believe I hugged him, You won't blame me, I'm always scared of the dark. But anyway, I love that I hug him, still a way of making him fall in love with me.

But he didn't return the hug, is he that stonehearted that he wasn't moved with my hug?

"Hey" I jolted when Anita entered the kitchen.

"And what is bothering you? " She asked and I chuckled.

"Nothing I'm fine" I replied and she furrowed her brows.

"Or your boss is mistreating you? " She said and I bursted into laughter. What shit is she saying?

"Of course not, My boss treats me well," I smiled and she nodded.

"Great for you" She shrugged with a smile before walking out.

My phone suddenly rang and I raised my brows at the strange number that is calling me.

"Hello" I speak up but at first there is a silence in the background.

"Miss Skylar '' I felt a lump on my throat as I heard my Boss voice. What? How did he get my number?

"Y… yes sir, Good evening sir" I said politely and he chuckled.

"You don't need to be shuttered, Are you okay? " He asked, somehow he sounded Worried.

"Yes sir, I'm fine," I replied.

"About what happened earlier today" He spoke up and my heart thumped. Is he going to sack me now? Goodness! I still have a mission to fulfill.

"Yes..yes sir, I'm really sorry about it, Please don't fire me" I gasped at the fear of getting my ass fired. His sudden chuckle surprised me.

"I'm not going to fire, I was going to ask," Are you always like that? " He asked instead and I gulped, did he call to ask that?

"Yes, I'm always scared of the dark," I answered and he sighed.

"That is why you cried? " He asked and I sighed. I can't believe I really cried.

"I'm sorry if I have… " He cuts me off

"You don't need to be sorry, you just reminded me of my mom" He mumbled and my mouth formed 'o'

"And she? " I asked and he chuckled faintly.

"She is no more" He replied making me gasped

"I'm so sorry about that sir, I shouldn't… " I shuttered but he cut me off again.

"You say sorry too much Miss Skylar, It's okay, Get enough rest and don't come late to office tomorrow" With that he hung up. I didn't even get to ask how he got my number.

He seems to be worried, that is it, no man can resist my charm.

Awwn! I squealed round the kitchen smiling like a fool. Abruptly, my hand pushed down the glass cup on the counter, my eyes widened. Damn!

Anita and Annie rushed wondering what happened while I only moistened my lips.

Gosh! Clumsy me!

MRS ABIGAIL'S MANSION

AMELIA

"Come back here, Amelia, I'm your Mother, why the hell did you go to his office? Didn't I warn you not to see him again! "Mom chased after me as I ran downstairs.

"Mom, come on, he is my brother I don't get why you want me to stay away from him, you hate him but I don't! " I yelled back and she scoffed, resting her hands on her akimbo.

" Seriously, are you sure you are my daughter? " She questioned and I chuckled.

"I'm not sure, because I didn't resemble you in any way" I mumbled and in anger she pick up the Pillow on the couch and throw it to me but I dodge it,

"What the fuck? " I turned back to see the pillow that met Daniel's head. Damn! I'm in soup.

"Amelia! " He yelled and grabbed my ear.

"Come on Brother, Mom throw the pillow not me, Ouch! It hurts!" I yelped in pain but he dragged me by my ear,

"You are back now causing trouble right, why did you go to Vincent's place? " It is his turn to scold me now.

Daniel, I'm tired of her," Mom heaved as she sat on the couch.

"Damn! You wanna pulled my ear out! What's with you people? Can't I see my brother again? " I rasped and he scoffed.

"Really? Your brother? " He scoffed and I struggled to break from his grip.

"You should go back to where you come from! " He shouted and When I finally broke free from his grip.

I stuck my tongue out and took my heels to my room.

I don't care what they say, that is not gonna make me hate Vincent.
